Behavioral Presentation
So I interviewed with four people who currently work at the library, and they each asked me questions that they had sent over about a week prior to the interview. It was in person and went pretty well. I did have to pay a bit for parking though.

Behavioral Other
The interview process was disorganized and dragged out over a 6-month period, which felt like a red flag. Ideally, HR should have a well-organized recruitment process to ensure everyone's time is used efficiently. For comparison, I accepted another job offer where the hiring process was structured and completed in just 6 weeks.

I started with a phone screen with HR. Then, I had to answer four questions via email. The last part was an in-person interview at the branch. They told me to come a little early to look over the questions. Four interviewers took turns asking questions, and they were all really nice. They also let me ask questions at the end. It was a good experience, and I'd definitely apply again.
